REPORT: The Lakers were unwilling to offer Kyrie Irving a long-term, guaranteed contract in the offseason.

1. Yes. We would give our future picks and not give him a long contract. I totally believe in this report. Swear.

2. no team is gonna offer him a contract longer than 2 years without games played requirements

3. I do not believe this

4. “Report”

5. Yeah…because they literally couldnt. If he opted out most they could offer was a vet min or MLE lol.

6. We dont want that mother fucker

7. I think the Lakers were only willing to give up a first round pick from the initial conversations which leads me to believe they were still skeptical of him and may have been willing to sign him for a 2-3 year type of deal only.

   Now I don’t think any team would even do a 3 year deal with Kyrie. 2 at most this off-season. Lakers may still be looking that direction 2/60M but with conditions.

8. Teams still want this clown?

9. Is it me or the video doesn’t say shit about what the OP posted?

10. 

    The best report is the one you make up and publish at the right time for clicks.

11. Doesn’t matter. All that matters is he didn’t come here and never will now. Bullet sloppily but effectively dodged.

12. Jeanie leaked this to justify doing no trade at all for anyone.

13. I’ve been a lakers fan for 30+ years. If they sign this fucking chump I will need to boycott

14. ” We were going to trade for Kyrie but he turned out to be crazy so now we will keep Westbrook and let the season play out. At least we tried…”

    -Jeanie

15. I’m sure we would have given him a long term deal, just not at the max.

16. “The Lakers can go 0 for 82

    And I’d look at you like this shit crazy”

17. In the end it will be the best decision.

    This dude is completly nuts offcourt

18. I knew this muthafucka was dumb & delusional when he thought he could beat Kobe 1 on 1.

19. I believe it they didn’t want to give demar a 2+1 contract either.

20. Sure Woj, sure

21. The smart, and right move by the Lakers FO.

22. Hopefully true

23. 

24. Personally ion think that this team every had a chance at Kyrie. Most of the offseason was wasted spent day dreaming over him.

25. 🧢

26. OP needs to change his title to Ex Head Coach.

27. Good.

28. Kyrie is crazy, but let’s all admit he can play ball. His stats speak for themselves. LBJ would keep him in line.

29. Glad the management didn’t listen to the fans clamoring for a Kyrie – Russ trade.

30. Thank fucking god

31. Thank the Lord…

    We dodged a bullet w/ this one fellas.

32. Oh please. Lakers management trying to save face here, we all know they would have given anything for Kyrie at that time.

33. First smart thing I’ve heard the Lakers do in a long time.

34. Hmm possible 3 team…

35. GOOD
